Established in 1898, the Map Division of the NYPL today holds some 431,000 maps, 16,000 atlases and books about cartography. The collection is international in scope, and dates from the 16th century to the present, with a focus on cities, especially New York City. The map room reopened in 2005 after a $5 million restoration, and is designated as the largest map collection in any public library in the world.
